Crashed Shuttlecraft Interior

Riker's Shuttle (Crashed on Alien Moon)

Riker pilots the shuttle with Data and Troi aboard as electromagnetic interference strips power from all systems. Controls fail during emergency landing; the craft slams into the moon's surface in violent impact. Darkness engulfs the interior, stranding the crew without lights or comms amid static bursts. Isolation grips them on the alien lunar rock, where Ux-Mal entities lurk, poised to possess the vulnerable trio.
